معمول Thank you for your answers, however I found that the word Ma'mool has other uses in the filed of perfumes please look at the following example:

Saudi ma'moul pastries - especially thpse frm Bur Greetings.
Greetings... taHaiya Tayyiba wa b3d..

From having sampled and compared both Saudi and Syrian ma'moul delicacies, may I observe that while Syrian ma'mouls are tasty, the more-delicious and more-nutritious ones are Saudi ma'moul pastries, especially those produced from dates harvested in Buraidah, al-Qaseem or al-Hofuf (several distinctive varieties are found there).

Khair, in shaa' Allah.

Regards,

Stephen H. Franke
